Symbols of the Manual1.1.2.

Warning. Read the following text care­fully; it contains important information
which, if ignored, may cause the
controller to operate improperly.

High Voltage. Hazard of electrical
shock. Read the message and follow
the instructions carefully.

Pay attention. The following text
contains very useful information.

Double insulation.

Both direct and alternating current
(AC/DC).

Direct current (DC).

Alternating current (AC).

Earth Ground Terminal
Primarily used for functional earth
terminals which are generally asso­ciated with test and measurement
circuits. These terminals are not for
safety earthing purposes but provide
an earth reference point.

1.2. Installation Procedure

To avoid electrical shocks and equipment
damage, unplug the unit before making
connections.

Determine where you want to install the 1.
system. You need an unswitched AC power
outlet and a telephone plug nearby to oper­ate the system.

Make a list of all the sensor inputs you will 2.
be using with the Agri-Alert system.

Mount the Agri-Alert system on the wall 3.
(see section 1.3).

Connect a ground wire to the ground ter-4.
minal of the system (see section 1.4.9).

Install and connect all zone sensors and 5.
the siren. If the alarm system uses the phone,
connect the phone line to the Phone Plug-in
Card and then insert the card in the PHONE
CARD port of the Agri-Alert. If the system
uses an outside temperature sensor, connect
the sensor to the Outdoor Plug-in Card and
then insert the card in the OUTDOOR port
of the Agri-Alert. These 2 plug-in cards are
optional (see section 1.4).

Install the battery and then power up the 6.
Agri-Alert with the 16VAC wall transformer
(note that the system will not boot when
connecting the battery).

Mounting the Equipment1.3.

AA800EZe rev.03

The Agri-Alert system should be mounted
on a wall. Use 3/16” diameter screws to
mount the enclosure on the wall. Fasten the
black caps onto the mounting holes once the
screws are tightened. Make sure the cover
can be opened easily (to open the enclosure,
pull the latch and lift the cover).

If outdoor connections are used, mount
the enclosure as close as possible to the
entry point of the outdoor wiring.

AA800EZe

1.4. Connecting the Equip­ment

Electrical knockouts are located on the bot­tom of the enclosure for running the cables.
Use a screwdriver and a hammer to punch
out the holes. Additional holes made in the
enclosure will void the warranty.

Strip the wires as little as possible (about
1/4”) to avoid electrical shor ts. Once they
are connected, run them through water tight
nyl on cable glan ds at the bottom of t he
enclosure.

All wiring must be done by an autho­rized electrician and must comply with
applicable codes, laws and regulations.
Be sure power is off before doing any
wiring to avoid electrical shocks and
equipment damage.

Do not install rigid conduit into electrical
knockouts. Only nylon cable glands are
permitted for cable or wire fastening.

Removable Circuit Card : The terminal blocks
of the Agri -Alert are mounted on a removable
card. Removing the card from the bottom
board makes the system easier to connect.
In order to take it out from bottom board,
gently pull upward on the plastic loop; to
put the card back in place, align the metallic
guide of the bottom board with the hole in
the terminal card and then push the circuit
card all the way down.

Hole to align the

metallic guide

Before making the connections, pass the
wires through an hermetic cable holders
at the bottom of the enclosure.

Plastic loop

1.4.1. Sensors

The terminals used for senso r inputs are
numbered Z1, Z2, Z3, etc. on the removable
card. Connect each sensor to a Z terminal and
to the ground terminal (COM). Note that each
“COM” terminal is used by two zones; for
example, Z1 and Z2 share the same “COM”
terminal. Make sure each sensor is connected
to the proper “COM” terminal. False alarms
can result if the ground wires are not properly
connected.

1.4.2. AC Power Connection

The terminals marked 16VAC on the main
board are used for connecting the transform­er. The transformer provided with the system
is a 16.5VAC/40VA transformer. It must be
plugged into a 120VAC 50/60Hz outlet. Make
sure the power source is unswi tched (i.e.
there is no switch on the power outlet).

1.4.3. Backup Battery Connection

The Agri-Alert system uses a rechargeable

8.4V battery Ni- MH 2300 mAh (part number
112-0 0007). No other type of battery can be
used. Plug the battery pack’s male connec­tor to the female socket located on the main
board inside the enclosure. See Appendix B
for normal battery life spans.

Battery Connector

1.4.4. Siren Output

Connect the siren to the SIREN terminals on
the removable circuit card. The voltage sup ­plied is 12VDC with a maximum current of
1A. Note that the battery must be hooked up
if a siren is used.

Make sure the positive wire is connected to
the positive terminal of the siren. The siren
circuit is monitored by the Agri-Alert system
for defects and wire troubles. This may not
work properly if the impedance of the siren
is too high. If this is the case, you can add a

1.5KOhm resistor (1/2W) to the siren circuit
as close to the siren as possible.

If no siren is used, connect a 1.5KOhm 1/2W
re sis to r b e tween th e po si tiv e a nd neg ati ve te r­mi n als o f t h e si ren o r di s abl e the sire n mo n i to r­ing function as explained in section 3.5.

1.4.5. 12VDC Output

The terminals marked 12VDC
provide 12VDC with a maxi ­mum current of 500mA. This
output can be used to power
othe r accessori es such as
temperature controllers or the
Agr i- Al er t wireles s module
(WM-3000). In case of power
failure, the battery back-up
provides 12VDC to this line.

CAUTION – To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or
larger telecommunication line cord.

If dialing functions are used, the system has
priority over other users when dialing out.
This means the system disconnects all other
phones on the line when dialing out in case
of emergency.

1.4.9. Connecting the Earth Ground

The earth ground terminal of the Agri-Alert must
be connected to the earth ground as follows.

Use a rod at least 5/8 inches (16 millimeters)
in dia meter at least 10 feet (3 meter) long.
The rod must have a clean metal surface
free of paint, enamel or other nonconducting
substances. Drive the rod at least 10 feet
(3 meters) into the ground. If the bedrock is
more than 47 inches (1.2 meters) deep, drive
the rod into the ground to bedrock level and
bury any remainder horizontally at least 2 feet
(600 millimeters) below ground level. If the
bedrock is less than 47 inches (1.2 meters)
deep, bury the rod horizontally at least 2 feet

The rod must be connected to the wire de­scribed above. It is recommended to let the rod
going out of the ground to connect it. The wire
length must not exceed 50 feet (15 meters).

IMPORTANT: The earth ground terminal
must be connected to a proper ground
to protect the electronic components
from damage due to lightning surges and
electrostatic discharges. Do not use the
electrical ground for this purpose

If outdoor connections are used, mount
the enclosure as close as possible to the
entry point of the outdoor wiring

A faulty earth ground connection im­mediately voids the system warranty
without further notice.

1.4.8. Phone Hookup

A plug-in card must be inserted in the “Phone
Card” port of the Agri-Aler t to use dialing
functions (be sure to line up the ground con­nector of the card with the quick connect
